out of the blue, decided to make kaya = coconut jam again.
i vary the recipe a little, increase palm sugar from3 to 4 tbsp and reduce white sugar from 3 to 1 tbsp –
200ml coconut milk
1 tbsp white sugar (15g)
4 tbsp palm sugar (60g)
4 pandan leaves
4 egg yolks
boil the coconut milk, white sugar, palm sugar and pandan leaves, stirring constantly. off fire and continue stirring till all sugar melted.
one important step is to pour 1/2 the liquids into the 4 egg yokes, stirring all the time. then add back to the liquids, low fire, stir for 5-10mins until the kaya thickens.
& that’s it! voila!
very “pang” flavourful..
and so very easy to make, probably took no more than 15-20mins in all.
kaya and butter bread or toast goes perfectly with soft white bread. ^^
